1. Choose one or more song excerpt(s) that utilizes figurative language
2. In the wiki- list the title and artist- and paste in the lyrics excerpt that uses figurative language (make sure the lyrics and song title/artist name are educationally appropriate!) Be sure you list about 1-3 lines of the song and NO MORE. You may post more than one song example, however.
3. Identify the figurative language being used in the lyrics you post.
Once we all contribute- we will have a running list of figurative language examples that song artists use in their music.
Example:
Rush- "Free will" 1 There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance 2 A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance Alliteration (same beginning "h" sounds)
3 A planet of playthings 4 We dance on the strings 5 Of powers we cannot perceive Metaphor (comparing us to puppets on strings)
